How weird, I just put "back to school" as my title and a dude on TV from the verizon wireless commercial said "back to school" while I was typing it.
BACK TO SCHOOL!
I'm taking Organic Chemistry 1, Molecular Genetics, and Sociology 200 online. Kind of a laid back semester than what I'm used to. I am one of many people I know to still be a full time student, after COC screwing us over by cutting classes and giving cool MESA students like me - priority registration. :D
I tried switching into the OChem class evenings from 5:30 to 10:00 p.m., but anderson had a waitlist of 13 people :( so it wasn't possible! If it were, I would be able to take Biotechnology ! Which I need as my last pre-req for the UCLA Nursing Pre-Licensure program.
So far within this first week of school I've been more along the lines of ordering and picking up transcripts, mailing them, filling out applications - all for community college nursing programs, just incase UCLA doesn't work out in the end. I applied to COC's RN program and LA County College; if admitted, I'd be starting spring semester. I'm not sure what my plan is now because i REALLY want to finish my pre-reqs and take Biotech, but I might end up starting the COC program in January and MAYBE take biotech at the same time??? or, i dont know... take the COC program and if I hear from UCLA that im accepted, then drop out of the COC program and start at UCLA in the fall.
That's the story of my future within the next couple semesters!
UCLA only accepts like 3 transfer students per year into the nursing program... what I think makes me qualify is that: (incase you were so bored and wanted to know... who am i trynna convince anyways.. hahaha. ... well you're the one reading my blog!)
1) I'm HITE and Honors certified 2) Vice President of Leadership of Phi Theta Kappa (GPA +3.5) 3) Alpha Gamma Sigma Member (GPA +3.0) 4) MESA Student and Facilitator/Tutor 5) Enrolled in a 100-hour 6-month volunteer program in the Emergency Department at Providence Holy Cross Hospital in Sylmar... (in progress)
as well as being a full time student with a big smile and also working as a server at chilis :) WOW. im one busy gal.
if i dont get into ucla its cool... i just dont want to later have that feeling knowing that i could have TRIED.. instead of just fucking around. as long as i know that i tried to the MOST of my ability.. (which im sure theres really NOTHING else that would be more beneficiary to my plate..) then im good.
anyways, on the brighter side - last weekend was my birthday! i gotta say, props to emily jesse and eric. they totally got me goooood :) friday night we went to Duke's in Malibu!... it's the restaurant that Eric and I went to the last day in Oahu :) and we found out they had one in malibu and huntington beach.. hehehe. so they surprised me there. saturday was my birthday ... turned 20! BOOOO one more yearrr and vegas!! hehehe. went to disneyland.. got a disney fun card with $72 value on it. i actually didnt buy anything! -__o (the susan face..) ill wait till labor day for me to go back. it was wayyy too busy at night in the main street stores to buy anything!
i got lots of nice gifts :D thanks guysssss you so sweet. im gonna miss emily... when it comes time to the end of a summer vaca or winter vaca, i tell her "see you next summer :D" ... cuz i never get to see her during school. with my busy schedule! i hardly even get to see my boo! >_<
so far ive been taking it easy this past week, havent opened my new crispy textbooks of which came off amazon for a 1/5 of the price they are in the bookstore... maybe this weekend, ill manage -reading- around my work schedule.
i guess thats it for now.. just thought id update before i get deeper into the semester and get stressed. wootsauce. tomorrow - phi theta kappa movie night at debbie's! we're watching coraline in 3D... what chu know about thatttt.
love <3 debbie, me n sofia sofia and me! ochem first lab
my body is a disaster. i have a sunburn from the top piece of my bikini (so that means, top tummy, bordering armpits, top lining of the boobie part on my tits.). i have several bug bites. i put on colomine lotion on my elbow creases cuz i think im getting axema. (spell?)
and im cranky as hell right now cuz i had to pay my prorated at&t bill.. so what that means is, im paying a month in advance. so when (if i ever) end my contract, they would have to refund me my last bill cuz technically i had already paid for it.
and now im negative $138 on my hawaii savings because of my at&t bill :( booo.
but its okay. i made $140 last night on the floor.
okay. cranky miss now is going to join her non-cranky boyfriend in the art of running.
